Getting Started

Set Up the RSLinx Classic Driver

RSLinx® Classic software is a comprehensive communication platform between the IntelliCENTER® MCC hardware and software. During the installation of the IntelliCENTER software, RSLinx Classic Lite software is installed, unless RSLinx Classic was previously installed on the computer.

IntelliCENTER software is compatible with EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet enabled motor control devices. See the IntelliCENTER software compatible devices table in the Compatible Device List on page 137. RSLinx Classic software has different types of drivers to configure EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet enabled motor control devices. The driver must be configured for successful communication between IntelliCENTER software and motor control devices.

IMPORTANT If IntelliCENTER software data disks or EDS files were recently installed, then restart the computer before browsing the associated network in RSLinx Classic software. The EDS files require a restart of the computer before RSLinx Classic software is able to identify the device in the RSWho. If the devices do not appear in the RSWho, then IntelliCENTER software is not able to monitor the device.
